Question 874029: how do I solve:
f(x)= 4x - 3
g(x)= x^3 + 2x
Find (f-g)(4)

(f-g)(4) means f(4) - g(4). So we need to calculate f(4) and g(4) first

------------

f(x) = 4x - 3

f(4) = 4(4) - 3

f(4) = 13

------------

g(x) = x^3 + 2x

g(4) = (4)^3 + 2(4)

g(4) = 72

------------

(f-g)(4) = f(4) - g(4)

(f-g)(4) = f(4) - g(4)

(f-g)(4) = 13 - 72

(f-g)(4) = -59

=======================================================

Final Answer:

(f-g)(4) = -59
